THE "HOFFMAN," corner of Hotel

Banner" resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. L. II. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success i'm his

vising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons Olympia Beer" This
brew is from the Capital Brewing
Co." of Olympia. the capital of the
State of Washington, and was received
by the "Garonne." Mr. Schmidt. the
leading spirit of this corporation, is a
practical Chemist and Brewer, and
after years of search and investigation
located his plant at Olympia, on ac-
count of the peculiar virtues of the
water of the Tum Falls, a stream that
is noted for its distinctive qualities of
clearness. GOODNESS and lack of mineral
and decaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water. and Tum water is traditional
in Washington with the Indians and
original white settlers. The Olympia
Draught" is under the special control
and agency of Mr.. Dee and he invites
his patrons and friends to a personal
test and is willing to abide by their
judgment on the merits of his latest
venture.

THE MYSTERY OF THE COAL
SHIP SCIPIO.
An Aftermath of the Spanish War
Maxims, Hotchkiss Cannon and Field
Pieces Hidden in the Coal.

NEW YORK, March 30.-The Times
says: The Scipio, a craft from no
where, bound to nowhere, flying no flag
and ownerless and crewless, is to be
sold to the highest bidder at the Brook
Ign navy yard by the United States
government A board has been APP
pointed to examine the ship which lies
at the yard. The board will determine
as to how to dispose of her. The board
will perform a similar duty with re-
spect to the steamer Niagara, which is
also at the Brooklyn navy yard. This
was bought by the government from
the Ward line during the Spanish war
At the outbreak of hostilities agents
of this government were engaged in
buying ships and war munitions IN
England. The beginning of actual war
found some of the deals incomplete.
England being a neutral power, these
inCOmpleted deals could not be push
ed through-that is to say, apparently
not Soon after the beginning of hos
tilities a steamship in perfect trim
from stem to stern, with furnace fires
burning, steam up, but without a soul
on board, was found adrift off the coast
of New Foundland-found by a United
States ship, too, oddly enough. The
crewless ship was the Scipio.
She flew no flag and there was not
so much as a scrap of paper to be dis
covered aboard her to indicate where
she was sailing to or who owned her.
She was a mystery of the deep. The
Scipio carried a cargo of coal, but
never did such strange things come out
of a cargo of coal as came from the
depths of the anthracite piled in the
hold. There were guns, fine modern
affairs of English make-MaXims and
Hotchkiss cannon, field pieces and 9TH
er ordnance, together with ammuni-
ton. Just how the Scipio came to be
found adrift with such an opportune
cargo has never been told officially.
The Scipio has been at the Brooklyn
navy yard since she was picked up
adrift on the high seas.

The country is nsw drawing
near to the NEST dangerous con-
dition that has ever confronted
her people. Whenever CONNER
cial greed predominatss over the
considerations Of patriotism and
the sense Of justice of the masses,
and by the power of wealth die
tates the ceuntry's policy at home
and abroad, then troubles rise
and dangers thicken, and turmoil
at home and complications abroad
are but indications Of worse

Wednesday, and after organizing,
made the following nominations
Thursday for Governor, w. w.
Heard of Union for Lieutenant
Governor, Albert Estopinal of
Jefferson for Secretary of State,
John Michel of Orleans for
Attorney-General, Walter Guion
of Ascension for Auditor, W.
S. Frazee of St. Landry for
Treasurer, Ledoux Smith Of Ra-
pides for Superintendent of
Public Education, J. V. Calhoun
of Orleans.
The nominees are all good men,
and the ticket will have the
unanimous support Of the De-
mecracy Of Louisiana. We con-
gratuIate Mr.. w. S. Frazee and
the Parish of St. Landry on his
nomination for Auditor. 1t is
u long time siacc St. Landry has
received any recognition on the
State ticket, owing principally to
the fact that she almost inva-
riably sent divided delegation to
the State Convention. 'In union
there is strength and the St.
Landry delegation having stood
together, have succeeded in ac-
complishing something for them
selves and got good man on the

''Tw0 Merry Tramps.''

has been successfully produced in
all the large cities of the country
and which by reason of its unique
and meriterious construction is
Of an order that will continue to
meet with fayer for many seasons
to come. An unusually capable
company of farceurs and special
lists interestingly interpret this
laughable comedy in q manner
calculated to cause one to forget
for the time being that sorrow OF
care exists, and an evening of
pure enjoyment and harmonious
hilarity is promised. The COM
pany this evening is unusually
strong in {, musical way, each
member being trained vocalist
and at times during the progress
of the play one imagines that it Is
an eperatic production rather
than comedy. A fine malo
quartette, an excellent band and
orchestra and many male and fe-
male vocalists comprise the mu-
steal contingency of the organi-
zation. Special care has been
taken by the management to have
the wardrobe and costumes of the
finest. 4 truly up-to-date come
ely production is promised.
