A practical Joke

An Irishman took q contract to die
a well. When he had dug about
twenty-five feet down he came one
morning and found it caved iR-filled
nearly to the top. Pat looked eau
tiously around and saw that no one
was near, then took off his hat and
coat and hung them on the windlass,
crawled into some bushes and waited
events. In a short time the citizens
discovered that the well had caEed in,
and seeing Pats hat and coat on the
windlass, they supposed he was at
the bottom of excavation. Only a
few hours of brisk digging cleared
the loose earth from the well. just.
as the eager citizens had reached the
bottom, and were wondering where
the body was, Pat came walking out
of the bushes, and good naturally
thanked them for relieving him of a
sorry job. Some Of the tired dig
gers were Disguised, but the joke was
too good TO allow of anything more
than a hearty laugh which soon fol-
lowed.

The Twelfth Census.

The next census of the United
States will, from all accounts, be the
most complete and thorough ever
taken in this country. With the view
of making the census a lasting benefit
to the whole country, the government
is taking every mean to insure accu-
racy and efficiency in the various de-
partments. Supervisors have been
appointed on account of their known
ability and character and it is pro-
posed to select enumerators for their
qualifications, regardless Of their poll
tical affiliations.
In this section of the State the
census will be of very great impor-
lance, as it will show the wonderful
progress made in the last decade. 1t
will show the increase in the popula-
ton and in the different industries,
giving reliable information as to the
development Of the country, both in
an educational and industrial way.
Louisiana has no reason to be ashamed
of its vast resources and advantages
and it will have a splendid opportu-
nifty to make a showing worthy of
itself. 1t is the intention of the
supervisor of this district to solicit
the good will of the people toward
having a proper appreciation of the
duties of the census-taker and census
giver and to obtain this end the valu-
able cooperation of the press is de-
sired.
In olden times the census man was
looked upon by many misinformed
persons as a wicked intruder who
went around nosing into other peo-
pies business out of pure cussedness,
but that impression does not prevail
to any perceivable extent now. The
census-taker has a plain duty to per-
form and the unreadiness Of people to
give him the desired information
makes it annoying and d~isagreeable
to all concerned. The census-taker
or enumerator is pail for the amount
of work that he does and by acting
sensibly people help him along and
save themselves unnecessary trouble.

On the 14th day Of August, 1897,
that great old man. well and truly
called the grand old commoner of
Mississippi Senator J. Y. George,
passed to his final reward. Missis-
sippi never had a more devoted son.
No man has ever lived in this state
who SO truly impressed his individ-
uality upon the laws of his state as
Gen. George. On one occasion when
I had the pleasure of being at his
house in Washington. he stated to
me with emphasis and with a trem-
bling voice. that he loved Mississippi
as deyotedly as a child loved its
mother: that his whole life was
wrapped up in her welfare and that
he felt it incumbent upon him to
give every energy of body and mind
to the promotion of her prosperity
and the happiness of her people. His

watching him from below expected to
SEQ the roof fail on this brave man snd
witness his death, but no kept on hack
Ing away and soon cut down the big
timber In the centre OF the window so az
to admit the hose. Then he took the boss
and bsgan to throw the stream into the
hottest part OF the fire.
These efforts aud similar cnes which
were made on other sides OF the building
soon began to have their effect and tho
fire began to 20 down AID at half-past
two o'clock was we'll under control.
What became Of the watchman Of this
building was the mystery OF the fire. The
man had mott been seen OF heard from
and no ons seemed able to tell his name
There were many people who believed
that this man had met his death in the
flames in trying to extinguish the fire,
but 10 was impossible to learn anything
about this matter this morning. No one
had seen him and 1t was generally be-
lieged that the watchman was dead. III
The fire originated on the top floor Of
the building where all Of this r. fuse and
rubbish was stored. It did not get Glow
the third floor. The roof was entirely
destroyed and Of course the machinery
and goods on the lower floors were soaked
with water. While the plant is valued
at Ss5, 900 1t Is not likely that the logs
will amotnt to nearly this figure.
Tie firemen had q long and difficult
job In extinguishing the fire and the time
this paper goes TO press were still at work.
The crowd which witnessed this fire was
very large one In spit of the rain
which was falling in sheets. There were
grent many women In the crowd and
the police had all they could do to keep
the crowd back SO as 20 allow the firemen
TO work without interruption.

General Conflagration
Feared at First.
Large Area OF Water Afiame
With Burning Oil.

Halifax, N S., July i7.-The Standard
OIL oompany's tank steamer Maverick
which arrived Saturday from New York
with cargo OF oil, lies sunk in this har.
bor. She was taken to the pier this morn
ing and the pumping of the oil from the
ship's hold to the oil tank on the shore
was commenced with six inchi pipe.
During the pumping the ripe burst and
the oil flowed down into the engine room
and became ignited. The steamers crew
made efforts to subdue the flames which
followed. but were Obliged TO leave the
ship to save their lives. In q short time
sheets of flame were rising from the
steamer in several places The city fire
brigade was called out fearing general
confagration. This danger was averted
by an explosion which blew o hole in the
ships side. She careened and gradually
filled with water and sank. She now lies
submerged only her masts being visible.
A bout two-thirds Of the cargo remained
In the vessel at the time of the disaster
and this all escaped. The accident oc-
curred In an arm Of the harbor known as
Bedford Basin. A large area Of water IS
covered with the blazing oil and thous-
ands of people have been attracted to the
scene.
The Maverick is total wreck. She
was not insured, the owners, the Standard
OH company, having discontinued insur-
ing. Size was valued at s25g. 0c0 and the
cnrgo ut s8J, 600 About two hundred
gallons had been pumped out before the
accident occu rrsd. There remained four
hundred tn ousand gallons in the ship.
The basin where the fire occurred is still

their lives and hid under anything which
would afford shelter. Pieces OF the
steamer went hundreds of feet in the air
and the great mass OF burning oil re-

The steamers mooring line parted and
