enduring had he been less partisan
and shown himself a broader man
as Governor OF New York. Dewey

From The Chattanooga Times
"A few nights ago while. the
Wang opera company was ilf
Chattanooga, Miss Elsie Eleanor
Waldo was dismissed by the man
ager because she wouldn't wear
tights on the stage.
Quite peculiar instance. is con-
nected with Miss Waldo's dis-
charge. Since the killing OF Frank
Leiden by Mrs. +. H James every
member of theatrical or operatic
companies who has used the dressf
ing room occupied by Leiden OF
that night has been dismissed.
This has occurred two or three
times where the actors or actresses
were not too superstitious to shunt
it. AS rule, stage people will
not under any circumstances use
it, and when Miss Waldo took it;
every one of the company and
stage hands at the opera house
told her about it, but she laugh
ingly replied that she was not 4
fool, but after being dismissed she
said she had changed her mind,
that she was somewhat sipersti-
tious after what had happened. +"
| 1t would be a good thing il the
members of theatrical companies
would put rabbits foot in their
pockets to drive away the "Hoo-
doo' about that dressing room.

Sells Bros, one OF the largest
travelling circus in the United States
will not come to Lafayette this
wear, but will exhibit at Opelousas.
We have heard that the reason OF
Lafayette being left out was that
our municipal authorities required
a too high license.
There are certainly reasons for
AND. against such license. Some
pretend that the coming OF a cir
Gus in the village, carries away
much money; Others hold that the
license ought to be reduced so as
to allow the circus to exhibit. The
Advertiser is in favor OF the last
proposition.
. The circus, and specially ore OF
importance tends to do away with
the lonesomeness Of the locality,
children are jubilant and inpatient
ly-await the arrival OF the circus
There are given exhibitions seldom
seen otherwise and young and old
alike do not refrain attending and
enjoy good time.
AS to the carrying away OF much
money. we think this is an error,
as a great number OF people VINO
are coming to town to see the cir
cus will at the same time do their
trading. which otherwise would
not have been done in the village
but at other places and the gain O o
ono to our local merchants would
in our mind compensate Tor the
other. :,
We doubt very much that the
majority OF our population are II
favor OF such high license, we think
that on the other hand they are
willing to disburse a small outlay
SO as to enjoy things than in any
large city can be seen, and we are
Of the opinion that in exact'ne
such high license, our munlc'pa
authorities are acting against th'
will OF the people.

NEW USE FOR coRNsTALKs.
Can be Converted Into Cattle and
Horse Food.

WASHINGTON. November % A series
Of experiments which have been carried on
for some time past by the Agricultural
Department has recently developed new
use for cornstalks, from which very val
liable horse and cattle feed can now be
made. The department has done a great
deal of werk with cornstalks in the past
year, and has developed several very valu
able uses for them, namely, cofferdam
packing for warships, high grade of writ
ing paper, the basis fer smokeless pow
der superior to the pierre acid powders,
and several other uses.
The new cattle food is made by grinding
the dry eornstalks. leaves and tops to q
powder, and mixing il with blood OF mo-
iasses. or both. This Is pressed into cakes
under hydraulic press, and can be shipped
as easily a. bricks or cordwood. For feed
ing it Is broken up and mixed with water
Actual tests have been made at experiment
stations. aud samples have been sent to
agricultural stations in Europe. The re
ports from all sources are very encouraging.
II i said at the department that this feed
viii be particularly valuable for our cavalry
in the tropics, and that the food cakes can
be made at a minimum Gust in Cuba and
Southern States, where thousands Of tons
Of low grade molasscs 70 10 waste annual
Is. and where the cane refuse ground fine
forms almost a satisfactory an absorbent
base as cornstslks The eost Of making
the food cakes under fairly favorable con
ditions would be from $40 to sl2 per ton,
and their value on a uutritive basis would
be from So 70 s25.
