The religious craze created by the
Rev. F. w. Sandford head of the So
called Holy Ghost and Us Society" at
Durham. has brought about a sad
state of affairs in the life of Il Port
land young woman. Through the in
tlucnce of an uncle who gave up a
prosperous business in Massachusetts
and joined the shiloh colony. She gave
up her position in a Portland store
threw over her lover and deserted her
home TO so to Shiloh with him. Her
experience there shattered her faith
and she has come home again broken
hearted, and with her reason in scri-
Gus danger. The moral Of it all is
obvious.

Burglars at Work.

Last Tuesday night gang of
very bold thieves attempted to bur
glarize the homes of Judge Debail-
Ion, Dr. F. f. Girard, Messrs ALI
Mouton and Leo Doucet In the
homes of the two latter the thieves
did not effect an entrance, but con-
tented themselves with remaining
at the windows and fishing out some
clothes by means of hook. DR..
Girard and Judge Debaillon's houses
were entered into. but the thieves
found very little booty which
amounted to 90 cents in cash. AS
Messrs. Doucet and Mouton had
not left any money in their pockets
the thieves were sorely disappointed.
Thursday night Assessor Martin
fired a few shots at thief who was
seen proving in the yard.
Burglaries are getting to be en-
tirely too frequent. Should one of
the culprits be caught it will not be
surprising to see him dangling at
the end of a rope.

The reports of the various utter
ances of Admiral Dewey are rather
perplexing. AS he is known to be
a strong, discreet and self-contained
man, we can hardly attribute to him
the apparent inconsistencies Of the
reports, unless, indeed, in cases
where ripper experience may have
induced him to modify previous
opinions. The latest interview to
the effect that our next war will be
with Germany, in which complaint
is indirectly made of the acts of
Admiral Won Diedrichs, is not con
sistent with the letter which Dewey
is said to have written to the
German Admiral. That Admiral
Dewey is favorable to the develop
ment of our navy is probable
enough. But the remark that Ger
many intended to interfere at
Manila can not be reconciled with
the statement that all the trouble
between the German and Amerlcan
Admirals at Manila was of newspa-
per manufacture. 1t is not credible
that Admiral Dewey made both Of
these statements.-C ourie r. Journal.

Story Of n Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: ''My wife has
been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for
female disease quickly cures ner-
vousness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine IS a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.

pany was rescinded and the right

dinances adopted ordering an
election to test the question for
Sept. ao, Prox. The Jury was
unanimous.
Hon. VIM. Campbell appeared

the Boudreaux addition be changed
in order to accommodate the Gerac
succession. The change was rec
ognized.

the State University Cadets Nc
Bride and Herpin was renewed
Messrs. Leo Doucet aud Alfred
Mouton appeared before the body

alton of the license law, permitting

products, without payment of the

chants who had paid. The Jury
recognized the justice of the COM
plant and assured the gentlemen

died last Sunday morning, was q
splendid man. He was born in this
parish IS years ago of humble but
honest parents. His was busy
life, for it may be truthfully said
that not day of his long and
useful career was spent in idleness.
His success was due to his industry
and integrity supported by his good
business sense which seldom erred.
His methods were strictly honor
able, and though he attained consid-
cradle prominence in the business
world, he was always generous in
his dealings with men and never
profted by the misfortunes of others
! to enrich himself. He was jealous
of his rights but equally solicitous
for the rights Of others. His sue
cess is fruitful lesson to the
younger generation. 1t illustrates
that man may acquire large Por-

men too often forget the golden rule
and upon the altar of greed sacri-
fee their self respect.
Mr.. Wilmington accumulated
average citizen, but he retained tn e
good-opinion of those with whom
he dealt and enjoyed their esteem
to the time of his death. When a
century and manages to preserve
unsullied the good name with which
he came into the world, he has full
filed his mission we'll, he has fought
unknown and silent shore" with
the satisfaction Of knowing that he
has done his duty while on earth.
Mr.. Wilmington was essentially
he acquired fair business educa-
ton which he put to good use in the
management Of his affairs. AL
though he never neglected to attend
some of his time to the public SER
vice. For a number Of years he
was member of the Police Jury and
at the time of his death represented
his ward in the School Board. Inl
public, as in private life, he was
ever true to his duty.
At the outbreak of the civil war
he was one of the first to offer his
services to the Confederacy, but
was not accepted owing to an all
ment of the heart from which he
suffered throughout his life and
which finally caused his death.
Mr. Wilmington leaves a widow
and two children to m ourn for him
His son, John Wilmington, Jr, is
the member of the Police Jury from
the eighth ward. His other child is
girl Of tender years. He was
buried Monday morning. His re-
mains were inferred on his planta-
ton. By his grave lie the ashes of
his first wife and child who died |
is one of the loveliest spots to be |
found on the beautiful banks of
Nermilion river. The funeral was |
very largely attended, hundreds of
people being in the procession.
Among the mourners there were
some who had received of his char
ity which was genuine, not ostenta-
tious. He gave to do good and not |
to make a show of his iberality. |
In the death Of Mr.. Wilmington
many have lost a friend, and the |
an honored and useful |

him should not mourn, for
Deaths but path that must be trod
