N lew SEET S,

The boy who leads his class at school,
A glorious child is he;
We wonder at the boy who plays
The violin at three!
The little one in kits who knows
His Homer through and through,
Or quotes from Willie Shakespeare
gains
Our admiration, too.
BuAgreater far than Is the boy
Who leads his class, or he
That all the world has heard of as
An infant prodigy,
Is one whose lot Is lowly, buN
Whose destiny is high
The Office boy who works on while
The band Is marching by.

The city of Baton Rouge under the
new State Constitution is entitled
to parish taxes collected on all
city property. In the past the par
ish has received this revenue. The
article of the Constitution making
this important change went into
effect, however, after the police
jury had made it's budget, the pay
ment of which was in a great meas
ure predicated on his revenue, and
in view of the existing conditions,
the city council, as a matter of
equity voted unanimously not al
low the parish So, 500 out of a prob
able collection Of $1,000. Next
year the city proposes to take the
entire amount, and the police jury
will henceforth regulate it's budget
accordingly. The proposition of
the city council will also be unani-
mously accepted by the police jury.

FRIENDLY TO AMERICA.

Ethan Allan Hitchcock Says that Russia
is Our Friend.
London. Ethan Allan Hitchcock,
the American ambassador to Russia,
who was recently appointed United
States secretary of the interior, ar
rived in London Saturday on his
way to Washington. He carries
home the strongest pro-Russlan
sympathies. In an interview had
with him by a representative of the
Associated Press, Mr.. Hitchcock de-
nounced emphatically the store'
current since the beginning of the
Hispano-Amelican war that Russia
was a member Of the coalition OF
continental powers which would
have interviewed in the dispute had
England not refused to join them.
"These stores are utterly untoun-
died." said Nh. Hitchcock. "There
has never been single item OF
proof produced to substantiate them
and on the contrary Russia has
been most friendly towards the
United States and has manifested
that friendship during the past
years in many ways, of which my
position forbids me to speak. Un,
fortunately the Russian government
is so constituted that it cannot &c
much talking in cases such as the
present, but can wait for time tc
afford opportunities for proving tht
truth. When these opportunities
arrive it's friendship will be demon
strated."

journed.
HOUSE.

Monday.-The house put in b
hard days work on the army
bill today. The committee amend
ments giving the president power
to reduce the size of the infantry
companies and cavalry to sixty
men each were adopted, and
also a series Of amendments
to reduce the officers Of the
staff. Much of the time today was
occupied in short speeches on the
general proposition to increase the
army and annex the PHILIPPINES.
Tuesday.-The bill to reorganize
and increase the standing army to
about 100000, but giving the presi-
dent authority to regulate the infan-
try companies and cavalry troops to
sixty men each, thus fixing a min
mum of about $4,000 men, passed
the house today by a vote of 1853 to
1875. A number of amendments
were voted upon before the final
vote was taken. This was the re-
suit of a week of hard and often
picturesque fighting on the floor
during the progress of which the
opposition compelled those in
charge of the measure to give this
discretionary authority to the pres
ident and to make other modifca-
lions.
Wednesday.-Th house entered
into the consideration Of the river
and harbor bill today and made
rapid progress. The bill appropri.
ates directly about $2,5OO,OO and
authorizes contracts to the extent
of $1S, 100000 additional. The gen.
eral debate was unusually brief; its
feature was a speech in opposition
to the bill by Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa,
who has fought every river and har-
Dor bill for the last six years. He
attacked particularly the Mississippi
river improvement, which was ably
defended by Mr.. Catchings, of Miss
issippi. After completing fifty eight
pages of the bill the committee
arose and the house adjourned.
Thursday.--The river and harbor
bill, carrying more than thirty mil
lion dollars, passed the house today
by vote of 100 to z. This is the
largest majority any river and har'
Dor bill has ever obtained in the
house. The bill attracted little op:
position and every effort to amend
it in important particulars failed
